Good point. Does anyone have a good web based bookmark tool? I hop between a dozen machines on different networks so keeping bookmarks is kind of tedious.

What ever happened to Delicious?

bought by Yahoo, everyone forgot it exists.

It keeps getting sold, reinvented by another company, then sold again. I've had an account for nearly 10 years and it's probably been through 4 or 5 different owners. It reached the point for me where the bookmarklet or extension would keep breaking and since I was using browser syncing, I just never got around the fixing it.

I wish HN had a save post feature similar to Reddit. I'm not really a bookmark guy and this is exactly the kind of site I know would be a life saver some time in the future.

Cut and paste.

I use pocket. And HN has a pocket link... It's just awesome. https://getpocket.com

Actually, it's the Pocket chrome extension that adds the "save to pocket" button.

I've been using https://pinboard.in for years and can't recommend it enough - it's brilliant.

$11/year?

Certainly not bad, but there are hostable solutions that would work on $15/year VPSs, and that's at consumer pricing and supports multiple users.

On the other hand, this is just penny pinching and <$1/mo is phenomenal.

think some keys got mixed up here: h or the left arrow - will move you left one character j or the up arrow - will move you up one line k or the down arrow - will move you down one line l or the right arrow - will move you right one character

There are a lot of little typos (such as stating '..' and '-' arguments for 'cd' labeled as "previous directory" or suggesting Ubuntu uses Debian because it's made by Canonical). I wonder the best way to contact the author about revising these small but obviously not terrible errors.

I use Instapaper to save articles that I want to read later.
